DAY 2 - ROYAL PORTHCAWL GOLF CLUB
Royal Porthcawl Golf Club provides one of the richest golfing experiences in Europe. It is never out of sight of the sea or blocked from the majestic view of Swansea Bay or out of reach of a wind that is particularly troublesome on the first three and last four holes. The 18th is played directly towards the sea, the prevailing wind and the setting sun. The course is one of the finest links courses in the world.
